Incredible. Recent discoveries, and
especially Darwin's observations, have
inclined naturalists TO the belief that
birds of prey have not the acute
sense of smell with which they were
once accredited. Their acute sight
seems better 10 account for their
actions, and they appear TO be guided
by sight alone, MS they never sniff any
thing, but dart straight at the object
OF their desire. Their countcrpnrts in
the ocean, however, undoubtedly see
and smell equally well, but
arc more guided by smell than
sight. In both sharks and rays, the
eyes are good, and have most dis
tinct expression; though, since they
scent their prey from distance, and
swim up TO it with great rapidity,
"smcll,n as Lacopede says, "may he
called their real eye" Smell, in Mr..
Herbert Spcnccr's definition, is antici-
pntary taste; and the manner in which
sight, rs the dominating sense, is sub
stitutcd for smell, the higher the cvolu
ton of the animal, is remarkably inter
csting TO follow, once the varieties of
sight arc understood, and both sight
and smell are studied in connection
with the particular habits of the cren-
turc for which they were designed.
Turn where we will, sight and the or
gans of sight arc everywhere adapted
in the most perfect manner to the nc
cessitics of the animal world; and in
realizing this fact, we realize the truth
of the words: 1.-The first wonder is the
offspring of ignorance, the last is the
parent of alteration. ~ ChamJorS'

suPERFLuous WOMEN.
The Peculiar State of Engiand's Social Sys
tenn Mt the Present Day.

The Peculiar State of Engiand's Social sys-
tenn Mt the Present Day.
The usual rotort, when women CONF
plain of want Of rcmunerative employ
mcnt, is that they should not work,
but find men TO support them. As
there are 500, 900 more women than
men in England, it is obviously impos-
sible that every woman should have u
husband. This state of things is as
bad in Germany also. L. c prcpondcr-
ancc of the women over the men Is
greatest in the professional and upper
middle classes. Among the richer
aristocracy of England, and the abso-
lutely working people, the sexes are
still equal in number, and women can
still marry. But the sons of clcrgymcn,
officers, civil servants, lawyers, doctors
and some of the country gentry find
the struggle for existence too great in
this kingdom; they cmigrate, or leave
the country by joining the military
or naval service. Their sisters all re-
main at home. unable to find husbands,
and uncducated for work, even do
mestic work. These "superfluous
women" most undoubtedly, as n body,
peform the first duty of their scX-thnt
of being charming; they are often
handsome, are generally well manner
ed and well dressed. They are "charm-
ers," but there is no one to charm.
They know very well that their chances
of marriage are almost nil; therefore,
should solitary suitor with even II
modest competency appear, they feel
driven to accept the first man who
asks them, whether they care for him
or not, and most generally they do
not Their parents wish to get rid of
them, so they marry without love. An
evil arises out of this, more ghastly
than can be described. The marriage
of conucndncc is n recognized social
institution abroad. In England, in
this nineteenth century, the
women of the upper mid
die classes adopt it without acknowl-
edging it. However we may affect to
deny it, there is n vast amount of mar
ricd unhappiness in all classes. The
fault is sometimes ascribed to the
present degeneracy of women and
sometimes to the deterioration of the
men. The fact really lies in our social
system, which gives woman neither
work nor money and obligcs her to sell
herself before she has lost her only
saleable commodities - youth and
beauty. As there exists four "super-
fluous women" to one man. the female
has no choice, while the lordly male
has the greater number from whom to
pick and choose. Therefore, in this
country, many women have not only no
chance of marrying at all, but no free
dom of selection whatcver.-Ndtional

NOODLES FOR SOUP.
The Proper Way of Preparing, Rolling and

The Proper Way of Preparing, Rolling and
Cutting the Paste.
The German noodles are very easily
made and much better than they can
be bought. Beat one egg with pinch
of salt, stir into it rs much flour, well
dried, as will make II stiff, elastic paste:
it must be very stiff but not hard. Roll
this out as thin as paper on board,
then lay a clean double cloth on the
board and the paste upon it. Now roll
again and when it is thin rs you can
make it leave it ten minutes to dry.
Cut the sheet in half, and roll up one
portion closely, then with a sharp
knife cut this roll through at intervals
of the third of an inch. 1t will now
form strips like tape, which must be
tossed with fork to separate them.
These may be used fresh or dried in a
very cool oven and kept in bottles.
A novel kind of noodle may be made
from the same paste. Fold the half
you were directed to leave, roll it
slightly and then out of the double
paste cut little disks, either with n top
of thimblc, or small cylinder not
larger than dime. Have some smok-
ing hot fat in n small saucepan and
drop these disks into it. They will i'm
mediately swell into balls and should
only be allowed to color very slightly.
Take them up with skinner and
drain them on paper These will keep
n week and are ready to add to the
soup at any time Catherine Owcn, in
